He commanded the Confederate States steamer Patrick Henry at the naval conflict in Hampton Roads; and at Drewry's Bluff, having landed his crew and mounted the principal guns of his vessel on the bluff, he materially aided in repulsing the Federal squadronels went into the harbor of Norfolk. Flag-Officer Tattnall having relieved Flag Officer Buchanan, who had been seriously wounded in the first day's fight in Hampton Roads, and all the vessels having been refitted, on the 13th of April the squadron again sallied out to meet the enemy.

I received from Mr. Davis's own lips a full account of the conversation between himself and the commissioners before their departure from Richmond. You have heard it said that the President embarrassed the commissioners by giving them positive instructions to make
